<p>Hi all,
Can someone explain how the fee waiver works? The rules applicable to it?
do we have to show any reason for applying for fee waiver?
we did not use this during the SAT application. Can I use it now during the application?</p>
<p>Appreciate a reply</p>
<p>thanks,
anuradha</p>

<p>Qualifications to use fee waiver:</p>
<p>�� Family receives public assistance.
�� Student is ward of the state.
�� Student resides in foster home.
�� Student is homeless.
�� Student participates in free or reduced-price lunch program.
�� Student participates in a federally funded TRIO program (e.g., Upward Bound).
�� Family income is at or below the 2010 DHHS Poverty Guides listed in the chart below.
�� Other request from high school principal, high school counselor, financial aid officer, or community leader:</p>
<p>Given my knowledge of this student’s family circumstances and after reviewing the suggested guidelines below, I believe that providing the application fee would present a hardship. Explanation:</p>

<p>thanks BillyMc!
We are citizens currently living in Bangalore India. Our Income is Indian rupees and we pay taxes in India. Using the $-Rupee conversion, we should be below the “poverty guidelines” I think.</p>
<p>Do you have any advice?</p>
<p>thanks again!!</p>
<p>I just looked up whether or not an international student could use the fee waiver. I could find nothing that said that you could not, so I assume that you can.</p>
<p>If your family’s income converts to below that amount, then you are eligible.</p>
<p>not international - citizens.
I will go ahead and print out the form and check the box on the forms (i think)
will this need to reach the schools before the application form?</p>
<p>thanks much</p>
<p>If you can, time it to arrive at around the same time. A little before or after won’t hurt.</p>
<p>oh - another question -
will using the fee waiver affect the admissions process - +vely or -vely?
am completely clueless about the thinking process.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, it won’t hurt you. I don’t think it will help much, either, but then again, I keep getting calls and emails from Harvard ever since I told them I was low income. So maybe they want poorer students. But again, I don’t think it’ll have much of an effect.</p>
<p>Thank you very much BillyMC.
Much appreciated.
I def post back here to let you know how things go!!</p>
